wind 1.2 turbo trouble

[mr myagee]

hi i have just aquired a renault wind,,which requires the turbo replaced, now having once done this operation on a clio tce100 , it was rather fiddly and had difficulty in accessing some bolts and return pipe . i was thinking with the aid of a 2 post lift it might be easier in the long run to remove engine and box completely? has anyone else done this? your advice greatly appreciated!

Remove the engine and box to replace the turbo on a 1.2tce?! definite no!

You can do nearly if not all of it from the top easy enough. From memory there's 2 bolts that can be accessed with an extension from the bottom of the car.
